Insider!!! Before Trump flips on Iran policy, did someone always “place orders in advance”? CFTC steps in to probe “divine prediction” oil trades



Before Trump made three sudden turns in Iran policy, the oil futures market saw unusually precise advance trading. 15 minutes before announcing on March 23 that it would delay strikes on Iran’s energy facilities, tens of billions of dollars in oil futures were dumped; hours before the ceasefire agreement was announced on April 7, similar trades happened again.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has already stepped in to investigate, requesting “Tag 50” identification code data from the two major exchanges, CME and ICE. Senator Warren pointed directly to this as “an astonishing case of insiders manipulating the market,” urging a full probe into whether Trump administration officials were involved in insider trading. Since Brent crude is traded in London, UK regulatory bodies have also been asked to cooperate.

A former CFTC official reminds: oil prices directly relate to gas station prices—“this is about the wallets of ordinary people.”
